Hello, Hippo! Goodbye, Bird! By Kristyn Crow -OPTIONAL

In this story a noisy annoying bird is determined to become
friends with a solitary hippo. The hippo desperately just wants to be left
alone and when he does manage to ditch the bird, he is perfectly joyously happy. The
bird proves itself useful and in the end the two become friends.

I am not sure the ‘lesson’ here works for students, the annoying
student that keeps pestering another student for friendship, doesn’t usually
end in friendship. I think it would be different if the hippo needed a friend,
but he seemed perfectly fine alone. The illustrations are bright and engaging.
